Louisville has located the successor to star point guard Peyton Siva with elite junior college prospect Chris Jones committing to the Cardinals, according to multiple sources.

Jones, a former Tennessee recruit, plays for former UT assistant coach Steve Forbes at Northwest Florida State College. Jones, who is 5-10, averaged 18 points and 4.2 assists in his first juco season and shot 39 percent from 3-point range. Northwest Florida finished runner-up in the NJCAA national tournament.

As a high school senior in Memphis, Jones was considered a top-50 prospect. The other schools he was considering strongly at the time of his commitment were Oklahoma State and Baylor.
